TGIT!!!!!
Ahh yes, it's that magical time of the week where I pit two individuals or teams against each other in a battle to see who will be standing after it's all said and done.

Today, it's a war of kings(Not the Marvel "event"from 2009) as I pit Aquaman, the king of Atlantis and the seven seas against the Black Panther, the king of Wakanda.
This ones' going to be a really good one, as both men are really very powerful, with almost unlimited resources and armies at their disposal. But all that won't be used today, as both monarchs go mano e mano to see who's the all-around better king.

Let's quickly go over and compare the stats of these two and go from there, shall we?

Now of course initially it would look like Aquaman has the advantage. I mean, he has more powers than BP, is all-around more stronger than BP, and the area he rules over is a lot larger than BP's.

But keep in mind just how resourceful T'Chala is. He's basically like a combination of Batman and Captain America with his quick-thinking and deductive mind, resources, and all-around fighting ability. With the mystical potions he took on the way to taking up the mantle of Black Panther, he's able to wrestle full grown charging rhinos to the ground, and has gone toe-to-toe with the Thing and won!

Then there's his suit, which is woven with Vibrainium, a very durable and strong metal.

Of course Aquaman's no slouch either in the toughness department, since he his skin is just about bullet proof and he gain a lot of his strength from being able to withstand the extreme depths and pressure of the ocean.

Throw in his mental powers, and it really gets interesting quick.

So,

Aquaman

VS.

The Black Panther

Who would win and why?

Let me know who you think is the last monarch standing in the comments' section.

Man, I thought 2015, then last year, and now this year were the best years of the Marvel Legends line, but after seeing some of the previews of figures for 2018, I'm thinking, how are they gonna' top themselves in 2019?

Probably by doing what they're doing this year, and keep getting better, by offering figures fans have been wanting forever and also continuing to offer multiple alternative heads and hands, as well as
solid BAF options.

Coming out next year is a Defenders 4-figure box set, and a bunch of other figures I'll preview here courtesy of marveltoynews.com.

Enjoy......

I'm really surprised by the bearded Namor even though I wanted the updated version in his iconic green trunks, so at least that's happening.

That Defenders 4-pack is pretty cool, even though it's mostly repainted reissues, but I really, really want that updated Luke Cage since I didn't want to cough up over $100 for the SDCC Thunderbolts Exclusive box set he was originally in.

That Jewel-era Jessica Jones though!!!!!

Can't wait for that new Deathlok either. Been wanting one ever since the release of the last one, back in 2005.

That Mysterio looks goods, as does the BAF Lizard figure. Lasher's an interesting addition, but not bad. Wonder if they'll make the rest of the symbiotes.

Also not shown, there will be a Mr. Fantastic and Thing figures coming to Walgreen's' as their exclusives for next year, as well as a re-issued Medusa figure that'll also be Walgreen's' exclusive.

And there's an Avengers Wave coming out next year with a Songbird figure. A Songbird figure!!! Hell's yeah.

Finally, in time for the Deadpool 2 movie, there will be a Deadpool wave with a Cable figure, X-23, and what looks to be an interesting BAF with it being X-Factor's Strong Guy.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.....damn, 2018 looks to be another solid year for the Marvel Legends line.

Finally, I don't know how many people this affects, but probably a lot going by the new terms the image storing site Photobucket has just laid out.

Apparently Photobucket is going to charge Photobucket members about $400 a year to be able to continue uploading and storing their images, since Photobucket has transformed itself into a third-party hosting site now.
